“A Witch by Night”

In "A Witch by Night," a desperate criminal escapes justice by plunging into suspended animation, only to awaken decades later—only to discover the truth buried in a faded newspaper headline. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Gray Morrow, this chilling 1957 tale from Strange Tales #54 explores guilt, memory, and the long shadows of the past. The cover, a striking illustration by Bill Everett, captures the story’s eerie atmosphere.

A criminal thinks he has shot a night watchman and goes into suspended animation for forty years so that the police will forget about him, but when he comes out of the suspended animation, he reads in the old newspaper that his partner was the one who wounded the night watchman earlier in the evening and the police never suspected him.
